Our Mission

We focus on creating a community of users using free software on their desktops and in other non-server settings (e.g. mobile/handheld devices). Our goal is to create an environment that's welcoming, fun, and educational for both non-technical and technical users.

Blog and Mailing List

Join the conversation about free software and using GNU/Linux on the desktop over at our blog:
http://desktop-sig.blu.org/

You're also invited to join the BLU Discuss Mailing List. This mailing list serves the broader BLU community (not just our SIG), but you'll find a welcoming environment that includes users of all levels.

Why a Desktop GNU/Linux Group?

Yet the uptake of using GNU/Linux as an end-user (desktop/laptop) operating system still lags. Our SIG aims to end that by:

  1. Creating a community of GNU/Linux on the desktop enthusiasts.
  2. Providing a venue where GNU/Linux questions can get asked by users of all levels.
  3. Fostering free software evangelism. Let's spread the word!

We welcome long time GNU/Linux enthusiasts, those who've heard of GNU/Linux but aren't even sure what it is, and everyone in between. Join us!
